Barcelona moved one point clear of rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga with a comfortable victory over bottom side Real Oviedo. 25 Jan 2026
Dani Olmo slotted into the bottom corner for the opener in the 52nd minute. Raphinha increased Barca's lead five minutes later with a dinked finish over Oviedo goalkeeper Aaron Escandell, pouncing on a mistake from David Costas. Teenage Spain forward Lamine Yamal made sure of the success in the 73rd minute with a sublime bicycle kick from Olmo's looped ball into the box. It was a 10th La Liga home win under boss Hansi Flick - last doing so in December 2019 under Ernesto Valverde (W14). Flick's side were below par in the first half and their best chance came moments before the break when Raphinha was denied at the near post by Escandell. But Barca stepped up their performance in the second period to maintain their slender advantage over Real, while Oviedo remain rooted to the bottom and eight points from safety. Attention for Flick's men now turns to Wednesday when they host Copenhagen (20:00 GMT) in the final game of the Champions League league phase as they aim to finish in the top eight and avoid the play-offs.
Juventus dealt a huge blow to Napoli's Serie A title hopes with a 3-0 victory at Allianz Stadium. 25 Jan 2026
Canada forward Jonathan David finished from close range in the 22nd minute, beating Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret at his near post. Fabio Miretti came on as a substitute and made an instant impact, playing the ball into Kenan Yildiz who curled past Meret to double Juve's lead. With four minutes remaining, Filip Kostic fired home from the edge of the box to complete a resounding victory. The result means Juventus move up to fourth, a point behind champions Napoli, who are nine points adrift of leaders Inter Milan in third. Both sides will be in Champions League action on Wednesday with Napoli hosting Chelsea, one of Napoli boss Antonio Conte's former sides, while Juventus travel to Monaco (20:00 GMT).
Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins both scored as high-flying Aston Villa ended their long wait for a St James' Park victory against Newcastle United. 25 Jan 2026
The visitors had not triumphed on Tyneside since an infamous afternoon in 2005, when Newcastle went down to eight men and team-mates Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer were both sent off for fighting each other. But Unai Emery's men have won more points on the road than any other Premier League side for a reason this season, and they showed their mettle away from home once again. It was the rejuvenated Buendia who opened the scoring when the Argentine brilliantly scooped the ball past Nick Pope from outside the box to silence the stadium in the 19th minute. Watkins then sealed the victory late on when the unmarked striker headed home from substitute Lucas Digne's cross, leaving the away end singing in the rain as their side moved level on points with second-placed Manchester City. That was the cue for a number of Newcastle supporters to make their way for the exits on a disappointing afternoon for their side, who would have moved ahead of champions Liverpool with a victory. The hosts went close to opening the scoring when Sandro Tonali danced past three players only to see his close-range effort kept out by the foot of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez just seconds into the game. The outstretched Martinez also made an important save to claw away Lewis Miley's header just before half-time. But Aston Villa had their chances, too, and Pope made fine stops to twice deny Watkins. There was little the Newcastle goalkeeper could do about Buendia and Watkins' goals, as the visitors secured a deserved win.
Matheus Cunha scored a dramatic late winner for Manchester United as they defeated Premier League leaders Arsenal in a five-goal thriller at Emirates Stadium. 25 Jan 2026
The Gunners' first home defeat of the season, following wins for their title rivals Manchester City and Aston Villa, means their lead has been narrowed to four points. Arsenal had started the match extremely well, taking the lead when United defender Lisandro Martinez put the ball into his own net in the 29th minute. The hosts gifted Manchester United a route back into the match when Martin Zubimendi's loose pass put Bryan Mbeumo through on goal and the United striker calmly went past David Raya and put the ball into an empty net. United then shocked the home side, taking the lead five minutes into the second half through a superb strike from Patrick Dorgu, who hammered in a shot off the underside of the crossbar. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta tried to force a turnaround in the match as he made a quadruple change, throwing on Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Mikel Merino and Ben White. It was Merino who thought he had rescued at least a point when he bundled in from a corner in the 84th minute. However, just three minutes later, substitute Cunha picked up a pass from Kobbie Mainoo and curled a superb strike into the bottom corner from about 25 yards out. The win moves Manchester United into fourth place.
La Liga's dramatic title race took another turn as Real Madrid leapfrogged Barcelona into top spot with a 2-0 win against Villarreal. 24 Jan 2026
Kylian Mbappe took his tally for the season to 21 goals in 19 league outings with a close-range strike early in the second half and a penalty in injury-time. Both sides limited each other to half-chances during a tame first half, but Alvaro Arbeloa's side looked energised after the break and scored almost immediately. Mbappe was on hand to smash the ball past Villarreal goalkeeper Luiz Junior from close range after Vinicius Junior's low cross was cleared straight into his path. Some Villarreal players claimed that Vinicius carried the ball out of play earlier in the move, but the goal was cleared. The Brazilian looked sharp in the second half as Madrid began to dominate, but he could not score as his goalless run in La Liga extended to 13 games. Gerard Moreno should have pulled Villarreal level in the 62nd minute, but he whipped a shot over the bar when meeting a quick Dani Parejo free-kick unmarked. Mbappe secured victory in the fourth minute of stoppage time with a clipped penalty down the middle of the goal after he was fouled by Alfonso Pedraza. After the match, Mbappe confirmed, external the Panenka-style penalty was for team-mate Brahim Diaz, who missed with a similar attempt in the Africa Cup of Nations final last week. Morocco's Diaz had a tame effort saved in stoppage time with the match goalless, and opponents Senegal went on to win in extra time. Real trailed Barcelona by four points when La Liga restarted in January, but a shock defeat for Hansi Flick's side by Real Sociedad last weekend opened the door for Real to pile on the pressure. Los Blancos have won their last three games in all competitions under Arbeloa, who began his tenure after replacing Xabi Alonso with a shock 3-2 defeat by second-division side Albacete in the last-16 of the Copa del Rey. Arbeloa's side hold a two-point lead at the top, but Barcelona will return to the summit if they defeat bottom side Real Oviedo on Sunday (15:15 GMT).
